I'm going 5 Stars on this one
If you want to watch a movie that doesn't make you have to think about anything--this is it! I guess its some sort of Aliens rip-off? Maybe I suppose. I don't remember Aliens having 2 smokin hot babes both going full-frontal and reartul in it though...and for that it gets 5 Stars! Dawn Dunlap is a super-cutie from the early 80's who doesn't seem to mind being in her birthday suit. June Chadwick is the saucy alien-lizard from the 80's TV hit V and was also in Spinal Tap (I recognized her, but had to look her up in IMBD)...and she too shows the goods--and its great. They both spend enough time nude to make this watchable. Overall, this movie is pretty cheesy as stated in other reviews. The affects aren't so great, but what do you expect? I didn't watch it for the affects, or the oscar worthy acting. If you're bored like me at this moment, these goofball movies on Amazon are perfect for passing time.

Good Frontal Nudity - not for children! Review not for children!
OK, I will be a man on this one. It is what it is. The only redeeming quality was the 2 hot women running around in skimpy costumes and nude and the frontal nudity! That is it! I suffered threw the horrific acting, effects, storyline, writing, music score, and directing to just see if the next scene would show some more T & A. 5 stars for that alone. This does not rate a B rating other than that, and I love B Sci-fi. I love most all sci-fi and can forgive a low budget production with bad acting and bad effects and bad editing with a decent story. This did not even have a story! I feel so soiled after watching it but I am just a man with a man's failings! This is not for children if you do not want them to see nudity and sex. 1982 under 1 million budget with a box office take of over 4 million. WOW. Only because of the breasts and pubic bush, I am sure! And 3 nominations for a Saturn award? WTF??? The fact it was received moderately well and made money and even had DVD/BlueRay releases of the movie and retains a cult following speaks of the sad state of people in general in the 1980s, as moviegoers. Had to be the nudity and sex, that is the only thing I can figure! Enjoy!

'Alien' with Boobs
This movie is basically 'Alien' with lots of nudity. The director also has a foot fetish, so if you're into that, this is the movie for you. There are exactly two women in this ambitious low-budget rip off of 'Alien', and they are both beautiful and are forced to spend their time on a space station with a bunch of nerds and dweebs and the coma victim rapist from 'Kill Bill, Vol.1'. Then Han Solo/Remo Williams (a guy who looks like a cross between Harrison Ford and Fred Ward, so we'll henceforth call him Remo Solo) shows up and almost immediately gets laid by one lady and then later that same night, takes a nude steam bath with the other. Ah, the loneliness of space travel. Remo Solo has an almost charming robot companion who is unceremoniously destroyed in the final, extremely confusing climactic battle with the alien. As stated, there is lots of nudity and it really doesn't disappoint. The director was even kind enough to have Dawn Dunlap pull down her nighty to expose a nipple while she mourned in repose over her recently killed future rapist boyfriend. Stanley Tucci plays a dweeb scientist. Not really, but the guy is the spitting image of Tucci, so try not seeing him when you watch this movie. Good dumb fun.

Not A Fan Of B-Movies? Back Under Your Bridge, Troll...
{ I Love Movies! } and I have a cheezy B-movie checklist: within the first 15 minutes (30, if one or more checks are met) I wanna see... 1. Something intelligent, 2. Something stoopid (but cheezily cool), and 3. BOOBIES! Or, if nothing else, sumpin sexy, even if it ain't my thing; say for instance, some bare-chested body-builder type for the ladies and/or my (male) gay friends. It's what makes a B-movie, it's what made Roger Corman King of da Bees... And so, I paused this one at 30:00 just to say: 'We have a winner!' My checks were complete well before 15:00 (I was hooked @8:40). I'm going back to enjoy this 1:08:34 of my life. I should be outside doing some yardwork on a Saturday; but it's 89 degrees, there's beer in the fridge, and Amazon Prime has, well, SO much to offer. And if you find no enjoyment in these B-flicks, how sad for you. Move along, nothing to see here...

DEFINITE FIVE STARS .......BUT SOME PROBLEMS FOR FAMILIES
NO SPOILERS COMING. THIS IS A CULT CLASSIC FROM YEARS AGO, BUT IS NOT A FAMILY FILM. THERE IS CONSIDERABLE NUDITY,QUITE A BIT OF SEX, AND A VERY GREAT DEAL OF VIOLENCE AND GORE. IF YOU ARE AN ADULT WHO IS A HARD CORE HORROR FAN, THIS FILM HAS MANY MERITS. THE ACTING IS EXCELLENT, THE SCENES IN SPACE AND ON THE PLANET WHERE THE SCIENTIFICFACILITY IS ARE VERY COLORFUL. BUT, AGAIN, AND I HAVE SEEN THIS FILM MANY TIMES, IT REALLY CONTAINS SCENES THAT MAKE YOU FRIGHTENED. THE HD IS SPECTACULAR, BUT NO ONE UNDER 21 SHOULD VIEW THIS.IF YOU LIKED MY REVIEW PLEASE CLICK ON HELPFUL.

Oh the childhood memories!
You could always count on the low budget B horror movies of the late 70s and early 80s for plenty of T &A. I orginally saw this in 82 at the age of 10 with a childhood friend and his mom. Little did she know the trash she was taking us to see, lol. I do believe this was my first time seeing a woman full frontal nude. Definitely my biggest memory about this movie along with the cancer feeding to the monster. It gets 5 stars for memories. ; )

5 Star for Being So Creatively Boring!
Please keep your brain, thinking hat, logic etc aside and watch this. If you can't anyways the flow of the movie is going to bring your mind to a standstill - quite a meditative effect. If your mind is not conditioned to meditate for at least 45 minutes, please DO NOT watch this movie, you will start to apply logic and find it boring and all the hard work of the crew will be in vain.I am giving 5 star to appreciate all the hard work that has gone into the movie and the effect it has on the mind.

An 80s Corman classic, space experiments, special effects and nudity, what more could you want?
This is a Roger Corman classic from the eighties, (a producer who is legendarily prolific), which I had absolutely no clue about, and I find that astonishing. I am a bit of a collector of these old films and have some classic rare ones from the eighties and nineties too, but having seen this featured on a youtube video, it was the way I found it, and I couldn't believe I didn't know about it. A mate told me that with Roger Corman films, there are scenes in there what you may recognise from other films, but that is the way he saved money and how he worked. This film however is a brilliant example of low budget eighties sci fi horror, lots of blood, special effects done cheaply and economically with a bit of imagination, plenty of nudity from two blonde female stars (including June Chadwick of V The Series) and of course, a deadly alien creature that is the result of an experiment in space gone awry. Put it all together, with an intergalactic troubleshooter, and you have an eighties classic that again, has stood the test of time, and could attract an even bigger audience now who might appreciate these things for what they were.There are other Roger Corman films which I haven't got yet, but am still investigating (I haven't even seen Death Race 2000), but this was a good place to start. Great fun and recommended.

Sleazy and silly from the early 80's Sci-Fi boom
This is a Roger Corman production which starts with a space battle (using spare "Battle Beyond The Stars" footage) which fills 10 minutes and introduces our square-jawed hero Mike Colby as he is diverted to a research station in trouble. An experiment has gone awry and begins killing people and turning them into easily-digested mush and it has to be stopped. This dates from that period of the early 1980s after Alien, Close Encounters, Star Wars and so on when basically anything with spaceships or slime-dripping monsters was assured of an audience. If it could be any good as well, it might get a second week.This film manages a space battle, a genetic experiment, alien pods, slimy exploding monsters, laser guns and comic relief. Despite this, we still find time for three (blatantly pointless) nude scenes, a lot of shouting in steam-filled corridors and a potential redemption against a toothy monster that isn't at all an Alien rip-off design, certainly not (ahem).Interestingly, there's a second version of the same film on the second disc, this time in full-screen with about five minutes extra footage -- yes, it's an unrated Director's Cut! Shout Factory are excelling themselves in the "Special Editions of films that don't really deserve them" space being occupied by Arrow in the UK.There's a commentary (only on the director's cut), some featurettes and galleries and a rather sweet interview with Roger Corman, who always comes across as a pussy cat but who is presumably not.Picture and sound are as good as you could expect from the sources. The film's not nearly as much fun as the better-known "Galaxy of Terror" or even "Battle Beyond the Stars" but it's still silly, slightly sweaty, sleazy, minor fun.If it's cheap, why not?

Altes Master, schlechte Bildqualität - Betrug
Das neue „Forbidden World“- / „Mutant“-Mediabook ist eine Mogelpackung.Wird mit „neu abgetastet“ und „remastered“ beworben, sieht aber nach dem alten Master aus und die Komprimierung ist auch grottig.Habe das neue Master erwartet, so ein Mist.

The film improves from then on but the quarantine procedures for a scientific lab are ludicrous at best.
Film opens with the most pointless space-battle ever. It has nothing to do with anything that comes after.The film improves from then on but the quarantine procedures for a scientific lab are ludicrous at best.

Digital remastered (HD neu abgetastet) ......... von wegen!
Eigentlich hätte man es nach der furchtbaren DVD Veröffentlichung von "Der große Krieg der Planeten" besser wissen müssen. Diese wurde ebenfalls von daredo produziert. Schon da kam der Verdacht auf, dass ein Bootleg verwendet wurde. Auch bei dieser Veröffentlichung wurde überhaupt nichts remastered und wenn doch, was? Die unterirdische Bildqualität ist durch nichts zu entschuldigen. Das sich ein Label traut, so etwas auf die Menschheit loszulassen, Respekt. Das grenzt schon an Betrug.
